yea upcoming weekends!
OMG - I needed the relaxedness of last night so bad! I got home and yes, I preped dishes for the dishwasher, and I did a few other things, but mostly I just did a little exercising time, watched a movie, some writing and I did my first ever card embroidery!
I'll be starting my next one probably this weekend and hopefully sending it out soon as well since it's for an upcoming event that I'm being all say-nothing about. :P
This weekend should be a lot of fun. Despite the crazy weather, my friend and I will be going to the Stars game tonight. I'm really excited! Not only do I get to go to a hockey game, but I get to go with my best friend! I'm going to take a lot of pictures this time, of us and the game and hopefully they do really well tonight! But if not - we're going on Sunday too! I'm hoping to get a lot of writing and revision done on Saturday, as well as a load of domestic things. Maybe I'll even fix the darn vacuum cleaner.
I absolutely have to register for the Writer's Conference tonight or tomorrow! Must-Must-Must! I'm excited because several people I know and adore are going so even though I'll probably be a wallflower, I'll still have fun! It also puts some more pressure on me to finish my novel.
I'm looking at the big picture of writing The Barking Dog and I'm considering cutting a huge portion of the Premonition section at the beginning that's just yet more stuff, more stuff, more stuff. I'm thinking I may just cut to some big action and allow the reader to get backstory details through flash-backs or filler paragraphs. Not sure. I still have several chapters to go before I get to that section and by then I think I'll have a lot more of an idea where I want to go - or at least I hope so! I won't cut anything at the moment, I'm still fleshing out the beginning and working on that. I'm altering some of the plot so that more of the major stuff comes in at the beginning instead of later on. Really, I am very much excited about it all. I like my story, I think there are probably some areas I could do better on, but I'm learning and I'm continually doing better!

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!
